This report provides a brief statistical overview of where and when citizen scientists have been participating in Mosquito Alert. It is not intended to show estimates of mosquito populations or risk levels, only participation itself. (Thus, for example, the reporting figures shown here do not distinguish between validated reports and unvalidated reports.) The report is updated daily at approximately 3 am CET. Note that some of the figures are interactive: more information can be obtained from them by hovering the cursor over elements, zooming in and out etc.

Registrations

One way of measuring participation is to look at the number of times people have “registered” with Mosquito Alert, defined as transmitting their consent to participate in the project. (Once a person installs the app, they must provide informed consent before they are able to use it, and this consent is transmitted to the Mosquito Alert server.) The number of registrations is not an exact measure of the number of participants, since some people may end up registering multiple times. This happens if they install the app, consent, then delete it and install and consent again. It also happened for all participants who upgraded to the new version of the app at the end of 2020, since their previous (anonymous) user UUIDs were not retained. To date there have been a total of 211299. The following charts show the time series of daily and cumulative registrations to date.

Reports by Country

To date Mosquito Alert has received a total of 71388 reports from 29865 participants in 163 countries. Of these, 45170 are reports of adult mosquitoes, 8967 are reports of mosquito breeding sites, and 17251 are reports of mosquito bites.

The following chart shows the number of reports of each type by country, with bite reports in red, adult mosquito reports in yellow, and breeding site reports in blue. Only countries from which at least one report (of any type) has been sent are displayed.

Time Series Area Plot for High-Participation Countries

Focusing just on the 10 countries from which the most reports have been sent to date, the following area plot shows the total number of reports over time, since the start of the project in 2014, sent from the 10 countries with the highest number of reports to date.

Time Series Stream Plot for High-Participation Countries

Focusing again on the 10 countries from which the most reports have been sent to date, the following stream plot provides another way of visualizing the total number of reports over time sent from the 10 countries with the highest number of reports to date. In this case we set the start date as 2020 so that the trends can be seen in more detail.

Details on High-Participation Countries

The following plots show details of the 7 countries from which the highest number of reports have been sent to date. For each country, we show first a bar chart with the number of reports of each type by administrative subdivision (using the level 1 subdivisions available in from the Natural Earth dataset). We then show a time series area plot for 2014 to present and stream plot for 2020 to present of reports from each of the 10 subdivisions with the highest number of reports.
